Quilting the Tie Quilt

I have the tie quilt loaded and have started quilting. I am using wool batting, which I love. Wool is my favorite batting of all time, it is soft, drapes well, does not hold a crease, breaths in summer and winter, and is so wonderful to quilt on. There is enough loft to show off the quilting without being too thick and heavy.

Here is a peak of the quilting, most of which will show up on the back better than the front which will make this quilt even more special. I am getting very excited to deliver the completed quilt to my brother hopefully later this month. I better get it finished.

Thanks for reading, and the inquiries and comments I really do appreciate them.

Hi EstherThat is looking fantastic!!!! Our quilting group was given a collection of ties once owned by a top NZ cricketer. We're supposed to make a quilt to auction off to raise funds for Hospice. this looks like a super design.CheersLinda

About Me

I am Esther, and I have loved sewing as long as I can remember. Many years ago, I started an embroidery business so I could work from home and raise my children. I now own a longarm quilting machine to redirect my home based business to match my current obsession. Sewing has always been part of my life, and try as I might not to, I always have threads on the floor.
